Sustainability

The ledger.

We publish our numbers once a year — the good, the bad, and the honestly traded-off. Kept since 2014, across the whole family: Applewood, Unico Zelo and Troppo.

This is not a highlight reel. We track governance, community and responsible drinking alongside water, waste and power, and we share the record so others can learn from our mistakes — including the times we traded one problem for another, like removing plastic and gaining transport emissions.

B Corp certified since 2019, working toward the Freshcare Australian Wine Industry Standard, and reviewed with the whole team every year. The full ledger is public, live, and unedited.
